Yoga is as Effective as Physio Therapy for managing Lower Back Pain…

Did you know that around 80% of the UK population will experience low back pain at some point during their lives?  

According to the NHS: "Back pain is the largest single cause of disability in the UK, with lower back pain alone accounting for 11% of the total disability of the UK population.  Referrals for spinal surgery are increasing year on year and a growing number of patients are waiting longer than 18 weeks from referral to treatment."

It's a huge proportion and suggests that our sedentary lifestyles and habits of sitting and working are contributing to this pain, combined with a lack of access to treatment via our NHS.   In a recent PLOS study reported by Marie Claire magazine:

 "It was found that Yoga is actually as effective for easing lower back pain and disability as physical therapy, with the added bonus that yoga is likely much cheaper than physio."

Investing in regular yoga practice has never been more beneficial. Join Lauren for regular ‘Yoga for Hips & Lower Backs’ workshops.
